I guess dispose the shoes at a hazardous waste facility.

 Maybe you can run faster with those slick shoes. :)

"slick shoes" reminds me of the kid with the inventions in The Goonies.
 
 Saw the cleanup crew today while taking the Westcoast Express downtown this morning.  This cleanup project looks pretty huge.

 Ah, the Goonies... one of my favorite movies of all time. Guess you looked like the oil slick kid on the movie, only there weren't any bad guys chasing you.   I imagine there'd only be slick men chasing you. :)

P.C.

I had a little pang of nostalgia when you mentioned the Goonies too Lil Me.  I loved that movie.

  There was another pre-teenish kind of movie around about that time that I liked too, but be darned if I can think of the name.  Bunch of kids working around a race track (???)  One of the kids sings this song called Rocky Top.  Had never heard it before, and never heard it since.....but for some goofy reason, it stuck with me.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]

never heard of 'Rocky Top' P.C.? That's the official fight song for the University of Tennessee.
